I would be interested in doing ftp from/to a BBC connected directly to the
net.

Imagine getting those ROM images and programs without having to fdc them
first. Wonderful.

As an aside, I have been looking at using an Archimedes 440i as a gateway
between my home network (Ethernet) and a BBC network (Econet).
That said, I'm not getting very far at the moment due to lack of the
relevant hardware. It's an interesting idea though.

Would many people actually want to *dialup* with their Beeb though ?

I was thinking more on the lines of people being able to network a Beeb in
the first place, using either SLIP or PLIP to a Linux box type thing.
